How does this list look?

 

[Mr.Smile12]

How much networking have you done with the AMCAS schools? I would add the other HBCU schools (Morehouse, Meharry). I'd like to know what your service organization does. That said, you should get a lot of traffic with your in-state options, and I'm optimistic you would be interesting to many of the OOS programs on your list (though I'm unsure about your service hours for Rush).
